Berrettini surprised by the new surface at Indian Wells: "I didn't expect the ball to bounce so high"

Defeated yesterday by Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round of Indian Wells, Matteo Berrettini shared his thoughts on the new surface adopted by the tournament this year.

The Italian admitted to being surprised by the height of the bounces: "I played against a very strong player. I would have needed to be better to put him in trouble.

I watched a few matches on the center court, but I didn't expect the ball to bounce so high. I don't remember hitting a single shot below the hip, which is rare on hard courts."
